’m a South African artist and consultant gastroenterologist, who lives and works in Abu Dhabi. My interest in art was sparked at the age of five when my piano teacher suggested that I try art lessons instead. Soon after, I started classes with an Italian art teacher, who taught me how to use water colour and oil paint. Painting has been a vital part of my life ever since, although I studied medicine, which didn’t leave time for any formal art training.
